Saccades and reaches, behaving differently.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Previously, we have shown, both in humans and monkeys, that the latencies of exogenously generated saccades decrease with an increase in the number of response alternatives (Lawrence et al. in J Vis 8:26, 1-7, 2008). Because this pattern of latencies was in the direction opposite that predicted by Hick (Q J Exp Psychol 4:11-26, 1952), we termed the effect an "anti-Hick's" effect. In contrast, previous research has shown that reach latencies increase with an increase in response alternatives (e.g., Wright et al. in Exp Brain Res 179:475-496, 2007). Given that there are known interactions between the saccade and reach systems, we examined whether the direction of the relationship between latencies and response alternatives differed when saccades and reaches are concomitantly executed. Interestingly, we found that the pattern of latencies nevertheless persisted in a visually guided saccade and reach task. These results place an important constraint on the anti-Hick's effect, suggesting not only that the effect is localized within the saccade system, but also that it is localized in the saccade system at a level in which saccade and reach signals do not interact.
